Factory zero distance: - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

The manual is a little ambiguous, saying you can use both 6-oclock and covering the point of aim with the front-sight dot.

But are these for different ranges? Is it something like you use 6-clock inside 10Meters and cover it with the dot out to 25?

What distance are the sights zeroed for from the factory? And if you exceed that distance is the bullet still climbing or dropping?

I'm going to shoot duelling tree tonight and at some distances I know I'm missing, but not whether it's high or low.

What size cartridge? The ballisitcs are different.

Edit: I cannot find the site but it showed ballistic drift and drop over a distance, I will keep looking!

9mm out of 5 inch barrel, factor 3 dot sights. Sorry forgot that part.

My manual says: "SA pistols are designed to use the '6 o'clock' sight picture at 25yds.However some pistols may shoot 'point of aim' at 25yds depending on shooter and ammunition."
